Psalms 108

1 A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.

A Canticle Psalm, of David himself. My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared. I will sing songs, and I will sing psalms in my glory.

2 Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.

Rise up, my glory. Rise up, Psalter and harp. I will arise in early morning.

3 I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.

I will confess to you, O Lord, among the peoples. And I will sing psalms to you among the nations.

4 For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.

For your mercy is great, beyond the heavens, and your truth, even to the clouds.

5 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.

Be exalted, O God, beyond the heavens, and your glory, beyond all the earth,

6 That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.

so that your beloved may be freed. Save with your right hand, and heed me.

7 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,

God has spoken in his holiness. I will exult, and I will divide Shechem, and I will divide by measure the steep valley of tabernacles.

8 Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the supporter of my head. Judah is my king.

9 Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.

Moab is the cooking pot of my hope. I will extend my shoe in Idumea; the foreigners have become my friends.

10 Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?

Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will lead me, even into Idumea?

11 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!

Will not you, O God, who had rejected us? And will not you, O God, go out with our armies?

12 Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.

Grant us help from tribulation, for vain is the help of man.

13 In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!

In God, we will act virtuously, and he will bring our enemies to nothing.
